Root Verizon Spirit Firmware has been released!!!

I guess they can setup the all things root sticky for this phone. lol It already has root and unbrick and it's not out yet. :p

Our best bet at porting this would be with a system pull, boot.img, and recovery.img.

Then create a system folder for spirit and one for vs870 side by side and swap necessary files like firmware and vendor stuff and adjust build.prop... I'm sure dpi will have to be adjusted. Both phones have same resolution which equals higher dpi for vs870 because of smaller screen.

lol it's a different screen. Not just dpi. Trust me.

Well, for the ms870 we can achieve a "cheap" bootloader unlock by writing a certain aboot.img, which will automagically kick us to download mode, and then overwriting download mode with our actual boot.img.

I'm building the MS870/VS870 cyanogenmod device profiles so I can get us a proper recovery.img to test with.

Currently the guy who flashed it is trying to get the KDZ program to run again....he bricked (softly)

Interesting facts:
Screen is flipped on a y axis (geometry people ;) )
Radio doesn't work
Wifi works
Touchscreen works (flipped)
Root method for spirit works

We don't know if restoring spirit firmware will fix radios or not.

Wow this actually isn't that bad, screen comes on and touch works, plus wifi and rooting as well?

this means it works better than spirit to motion, motion to spirit... let's see what we can get from this :)

The lg spirit supports NFC and wireless charging??

No it doesn't im afraid i looked at the vs 870 pdf and the picture clearly shows that there is three metal dots on the inside back of the device in the back cover and the sim card holder is plastic not metal necessary for nfc waves to pass thru so in short no nfc or rf charge for the spirit. .2013-03-27-11-40-02.jpg

If you really want to test:

Code: 
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img
exit (type exit again if not out of shell)
adb pull /sdcard/boot.img ([COLOR="Red"]if you don't complete this command, and the ones before, DO NOT CONTINUE!!!![/COLOR])
adb shell
su
dd if=dev/zero of=dev/block/mmcblk0p7
reboot
fastboot oem unlock

to get out of fastboot:

Code: 
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot continue

Good luck :)

I'm 99.99999999% sure you'll get no results just like us. :p
 
I knew no one would try that... That's a meeting with Mr. Brick waiting to happen. lol

I think that's the method for the LG Nexus 4 (fastboot oem unlock).
